(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi, I am trying to boot PuppyLinux from USB.

I have installed PuppyLinux on USB from the universal installer in LiveCD using the default settings.

I have three computers.
One is Dell which has an explicit booting menu when I press F12 in the booting: boot from USB Mass Drive
The other two have no such thing. For these two, I set the booting priority in BIOS to Removable Drives(Devices?)

With this USB drive, I can boot on Dell.

But on the other two, I can't; it goes directly to Windows.

In this case, is the USB drive working? Should I try other settings when I install PuppyLinux on USB?

It's hard to tell without a lot more tinkering. Probably the two that won't boot, can't be made to boot from USB flash memory. Have you checked to see if there is a BIOS update for them? If they have floppy drives then you can start the computer with a special boot floppy which then loads the USB flash memory.
